  • by Melissa Sites

Old Greenbelt Theatre has become a destination for visitors from around the area, encouraging nonresidents to spend their money not only at the theater but also at other businesses here in Greenbelt, according to Caitlin McGrath, executive director of the theater. McGrath, along with members of the Friends of Greenbelt Theatre (FOGT) board of directors led by its Chair and Treasurer Cathy Jones, presented a funding and revenue analysis to city council during a March 14 worksession.

According to McGrath’s report, the City of Greenbelt’s $50,000 investment draws 40,000 people to Roosevelt Center annually. Agreeing with McGrath’s findings, Mayor Emmett Jordan responded, “The theater is one of the economic drivers for Roosevelt Center, and it is a gem.”
